‘I went once on holiday when I was younger, but we’re talking about when I was five or six, maybe a little bit older. My mum and dad took me to Florida and I don’t remember a lot of it.

‘I just remember there was something about crocodiles, or maybe it is an alligator in Florida. I think maybe we were out playing football and there was an alligator that came up out of a lake, or something along those lines but I’ve forgotten it all now! It was a long time ago, but I remember there was something to do with an alligator!

‘That was the only time I went to America up until I was 22 or 23, so I didn’t go for about 14 years. I went once as a kid and then back when I was 22.

‘That was on holiday and then I went back about three weeks later with Leicester, on a pre-season tour the year after we won the league. We played against PSG in LA which was fun. Then I obviously went last summer with Chelsea, and we’re going back this year in pre-season, so I’m definitely making up for the time there I missed during my childhood, going there now.

‘When I went back on holiday in my early 20s it was to LA and Vegas. I’ve been to Miami since, and I think I preferred Miami. I love LA. Vegas was hard work, which everyone says, but it was definitely true, you can only do a few days there. LA’s fun because you can chill, you can party. It’s got everything and the weather’s always nice.

‘But Miami, I just like the people a lot. I really got on with the people there and just felt a lot more comfortable there I guess, I don’t know why, I couldn’t tell what the reason was.

‘It was chilled, the lifestyle there is just so relaxed and it kind of just puts you at ease and makes you just forget about reality, because Miami isn’t the real world, it’s make believe! But I like all those places, I’ve enjoyed all my holidays in America.’
